I arose, and partly carried him to a chair and leaned him back in corner. Think ing it would be a good chance to test the Moxie Nerve Food on the claim of it's pro- prietors resolved to try it. I went across the way, purchased bottle, and gave him a tumbler full of 1t, spilling little. He was asleep in five minutes; walked about fifty five minutes later, and, in surprise, asked me how he came to be there. I explained. I was satisfied. He arose and went out. then concluded Moxie had come to stay, if only for this.

TRINITY CHURCH CHIMES

Hung for the First Time on Saturday
 Night-The Heavy Rain Prevents
 Them Being Heard Far-In Perfect
 Working order.
 The Trinity church chimes were rung for the first time on Saturday evening by Wads- worth Meneeley, son of the bell manufacturer of Troy, N. Y. The trial was made under poor circumstances, for the rain was coming heavily down and the newly fallen snow was melting and dropping in big drops of water from all the roofs, and the air was not sus- ceptible to the vibrations of the sound waves from the chimes. The opinion of those who had assembled in the church and in places near by was that the bells are of excellent tone.
 These bells and their weights are as fol- lows: E fiat, 3,034 pounds; F, 2,033; G, l. 552; A flat, 1,221; B fiat, S12; 0, 515; D fiat, 442; D, 414; flat, 364, and F, 27O; total, 10,6 ,660 pounds. With the exception of the tenor or largest, which is mounted in the full manner of church bell, so that it can be rung independently of the others, as occa- sion requires, the bells are all suspended from a framework, suited to the tower, and are sounded by means of chains and rods leading from the ends of the clappers and passing through pulleys to the position of the ringer, where they are attached by nov able straps to manuals in the form of levers, which are operated by 8 single player. MT. Meneely says he could not make g bet ter chime than the one in Trinity tower if he was offered BIO ,OO0, this costing but $5,250 He thinks this chime to be fully equal to that in Trinity church, New York, which came from abroad and cost more money. Ex- Councilman F. A. Thompson has been en- gagged to ring the chimes the present year.
 IT E. d. ha ar,1o the ten bells. The chime of the bells Satur- day evening began at 7:30 o'clock. The fol- lowing programme was rendered by Mir. Meneely:

 SoUrH1NGToN, Feb. 27.-Judge Stoddard has decided in favor of the city in the case of Robert O. Durham vs. the city of New Britain. This is the case in which Durham, proprietor of Shuttle Mead ow Lake, sought to have the court prevent the city from enforcing it's ordinance against fishing and the use of boats on the lake and to have the deeds to the city from Dunham set aside on the ground of fraud and want of consideration. Shuttle Meadow Lake is the only water supply that the city has, and, although it is situated in South1ng- ton, the city has control of 1t by special act of the legislature.
 For a number of years the lake has been 8 pleasure resort and boats have been used up- on it, but of late years the city has objected to it because of fear that the water would be polluted.

ADxIFT ON A WRECK.
Thrilling Experience of Two Men
 Long Island sound.


 Long Island Sound.
 After drifting about the Sound on Friday for five hours, clinging to the overturned sharpie, and being passed unseen by four steamers, H. L. Darling and Matthew Taylor of Port Jefferson, L. l., were picked up by the freight steamer Manhattan and brought to this city. The men left Bridgeport the morning before in the sharpie Aldine for Port Jefferson.
 When about four miles out squall struck the boat and capsized it. The men sue ceeded in getting on the bottem of the over turned boat and set a signal of distress-a piece of sail tied to an oar. The waves broke over the boat, making it almost i'm possible for the men to retain their posi- tions, benumbed as they were by the cold. Four vessels steamed past them within a mile of the overturned boat.
 The men at this time were suffering terri bly, from cold and exhaustion and were com- pletely discouraged. About an hour later they sighted & fifth steamer, and this time, luckily, their signal was observed. It prov ed to be the Manhattan, bound from New York to this port. The steamer at once pro- ceeded for the imperilled men, and soon both men and boat were hoisted on board. On reaching the deck. Darling and Taylor be- came insensible and some time elapsed be- fore they were restored.

A BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

A Surprise Given to Professor y. M.
 Lees Better KHnlf-An Event Long to
 be Remembered.
 The birthday anniversary of Mrs. Lee, wife of Professor J. M. Lee, principal of the Ho- garth academy, occurred on Saturday even ing, and the pupils of Professor Lee decided CTS had assembled in the academy rooms Mrs. Lee was invited down, and her surprise can well be imagined upon beholding such large assemblage. Over 300 of Professor Lees pupils and parents of others were pres ent She was still further surprised when Herbert E. Benton, clerk of the Common Pleas court, arose and in pleasant speech presented her, in behalf of 300 pupils, with two fine gifts. These remembrances consist ed of diamond pin and gold watch chain and charm, enclosed in plush and satin caskets. MT. Benton in his very fitting re- marks told of the affection and esteem of the pupils, who had procured the testimonials as an expression. MIs. Lees surprise almost overcame her, but her gallant husband came to the rescue, and in speech brimming with witticisms expressed the thanks which his wife could not utter. Professor Lees remarks were quite characteristic of the gentleman, and his hearers were happily en- tertained. Upon finishing his remarks Pro- lessor Lee turned to his wife and on behalf of himself presented her with solid silver tea set. The service is frosted and chased, and of @ handsome design.
 After the remarks by MT. Benton and Professor Lee. who were schoolmates in one of the Litchfeld county institutes of in- struction, Miss Lizzie Gaffney entertained the company with couple of solos sung in her happiest manner. Max Kastner sang with great acceptance, "When the Flowing Tide Comes h." There was also singing by the Reyes sisters, Miss Elisa PaIlman and H. A. Bennett of the Choral union. Miss Cora Lamb played some fine selections in a very pleasing and artistic manner on the violin. Miss Maud Hubbard, Miss Lizzie Henan, the Psllman sisters and Miss Julia Evans all rendered many popu- lar airs and pleasing operatic selections on the piano.
